Increased Seatbelt Enforcement to be held through Nov. 17
BISMARCK, N.D. -- The
North Dakota Department of
Transportation announces an up-
coming increased seatbelt enforce-
ment period taking place Friday,
November 9th through Saturday,
November 17th. During this time,
the North Dakota Highway Patrol,
North Dakota Sheriff's Offices and
local Police Departments will have
additional officers on duty in an ef-
fbrt to remind motorists ro buckle
up. This increased enforcement
period is statewide and is part of
the Click It or Ticket enforcement
efforts.
"Seat belt use in North Dakota
ranks significantly below the na-
tional average," stated Mark Nel-
son, Safety Director. "'In 2011, the
national average was 84%, while
North Dakota's rate was 76.7%.
This simply isn't safe and it
Highway Patrol steps up
enforcement through end of year
GRAND FORKS, N.D. --
The North Dakota Highway Pa-
trol is increasing enfbrcement as
part of a safe &-iving effort. From
Nov. I until the end of the year,
troopeps will be working overtime
hours to increase visibility and
safety on North Dakota road-
ways. With winter and holiday
travel approaching, the NDHP
wants all motorists to arrive at
their destination safely.
The NDHP is asking motorists
to make responsible choices when
driving. Buckle up, drive for the
conditions, and never drink and
drive. If you see an impaired
driver, call 911. Avoid distracted
driving such as talking on a cell
phone, texting or any activity that
takes attention away from the
road.
"While enforcement is proven
to prevent crashes, driving re-
sponsibly is the best insurance
any motorist has of arriving at
their destination safely," said Col.
Prochniak. "'I urge motorists to re-
member that driving is a full-thne
responsibility."
The day before Thanksgiving
is historically one of the busiest
travel days of the year. As part of
this enforcement effort, all sworn
NDHP personnel will be out on
the road on Nov. 21.
All driving laws will be stTictly
enforced.
shouldn't be acceptable to anyone
driving, or riding, in our state."
In 2011, 69% of individuals
killed in motor vehicle crashes
were not wearing seatbelts. To do
their part, officers across the state
have one main goal in their up-
coming increased efforts and that
is to keep all drivers alad passen-
gers safe by ensuring seatbelts are
buckled.
"Buckling up is the single most
effective thing you can do to pro-
tect yourself in a crash," concluded
Nelson. "During this increased en-
forcement period and always, re-
member it is important to buckle
up every trip, every thne."

Edinburg Blood Drive
brings in 37 people
EDINBURG, N.D. -- The
American Legion Auxiliary has
sponsored a very good blood drive.
According to Katie Bartelson,
Donor Recruitment Representative
at United Blood Services, "Edin-
burg had a great turnout. Out of 37
people who volunteered to donate,
33 were able to give. Thirteen peo-
plegave blood on the automated
2RBC machine which collects two
traits of red blood cells during the
donation, so a total of 46 products
were collected. There were 7 peo-
ple who donated for their first
time."
Lynette Langerud and Alida
Flora co-coordflmted the drive.
The Amercian Legion Auxiliary
sponsored the drive. Space to hold
the drive was provided at the
Community Center.
Others who assisted -with the
drive were: `• Lois Otto;Mary Bur-
kett, Loretta Monson, Maria Peter-
son, Vera Brandvold, Joan Olson,
Market on Main, Citizens State
Bank & Walsh Comaty Press.
The availability of blood is de-
pendent on the success of blood
drive held in many communities.
The citizens of the Edinburg area
can be assured that their commu-
nity is a good example of a well-
run blood program.
On behalf of the patients who
benefited, United Blood Services
appreciates all the thoughtful peo-
ple who volunteered to belp others
by giving of themselves.
Blood is for sharing; you have
truly given the "Girl of Life".
Reporting deadline nears
for fall seeded crops
BISMARCK, N.D.--- Farmers
and ranchers in North Dakota are
reminded that USDA's Farm Serv-
ice Agency has new acreage re-
porting deadlines for the coming
crop year. Producers must report
fall seeded crops and perennial for-
age, which comprises grass, hay,
alfalfa, and pasture, by November
15, 2012.
Aaron Krauter, State Executive
Director for FSA in North Dakotal
says the change comes as a result
of a national effort to align acreage
reporting dates between FSA and
Risk Management Agency. "The
big change for North Dakota pro-
ducers is that we now have two
acreage reporting dates," Krauter
said. "You still need to report
spring crops by July 15th, but if
you're planting a crop like winter
wheat that will be harvested in
2013 or have hay or pastureland,
it's important to get those crops re-
ported by November 15th."
Because of the change in re-
,porting dates, late-filed fees will
not be assessed if producers miss
the November 15th, 2012 deadline.
"Going to two different acreage re-
porting dates is a new thing tbr
producers in North Dakota, and we
understand:that it's going to take a
while to get everybody thinking
about coming into their county of-
rice in thefall," Krauter said.
Producers should contact their
local FSA county office if they are
uncertain about reporting dead-
lines. In order to meet FSA pro-
gram eligibility requirements,
producers must submit timely
acreage reports. Reports filed after
the established deadlines must
meet certain requirements to be ac-
cepted .........
